Article Purpose: This article will help you navigate and implement an overly for your streams.

Accessing Stream Configurations

To access stream configurations, follow the steps using the following link "How to Edit a Stream".

Implementing an Overlay to your Stream

Please go to the bottom section of the stream configuration page as shown in the image below.

Create New Overlay

To create a new overlay click on the Create New Overlay button or follow the steps using this Studio: How to use the Overlay Editor.

Friendly Reminder: After your overlay is ready to be used, remember to export overlay to the cloud to be able to import it to the stream configuration.

Importing Overlay

To be able to choose your newly created overlay stored in the cloud as your stream overlay, you will first need to import it to the Stream configuration.

Next click on the Import Overlay button.

Choose overlay to import and click on the Import button.

Setting the Overlay to a Stream

After you import the overlay from the cloud, you will be able to set the appropriate overlay in the stream configuration.

Choose an overlay by clicking on the name or radio button next to the overlay and then save the Stream configuration.

Duplicate the Overlay to your Cloud

In the situation where you would like to edit the overlay which you did not create, you can duplicate the overlay to your cloud by clicking the "Duplicate to your cloud" icon on the right. Make sure to give the overlay an appropriate name and click the Duplicate button.

Delete the Overlay from the Stream

When you set a new overlay to the stream you may want to remove the old overlay by clicking the Delete overlay icon on the right side. You will then be prompted with the option to Delete the overlay. Click on the Delete button and it will be confirmed.

Re-importing the Overlay

Friendly Reminder: If you make any changes to an overlay and export it to the cloud, you will need to re-import the overlay to the stream. Just as during the import overlay process, you will be making a copy of the overlay which is not synchronized with your cloud.
